Reindustrialization in Nouvelle-Aquitaine highlights the crucial role of housing as a driver of attractiveness and economic development, according to a DREETS study.

The reindustrialization dynamic in the "Territoires d’industrie" (Industrial Territories) of Nouvelle-Aquitaine emphasizes the critical role of housing for attractiveness, recruitment, and economic growth. The region, which accounts for 66% of industrial jobs, has observed faster industrial employment growth than the regional average for several years.
A recent study, designed as a dialogue tool and based on territorialized data, projects high housing needs by 2030 and 2040. These projections consider both demographic changes and reindustrialization prospects.
